¶ Discussion About a Cancelled TV Show
Oh , OK , it started recording . I can take this out anyway . But yeah , I heard that they were . Hbo said no , we're not going to , We're not going to do this anymore .
Yeah , because , ok , like I don't know , i love that man , but I don't Was . It was bad . Ok , yeah , it was like if you take a cheesy 70s , 80 porn though .
Yeah , and .
Just made a show out of it . That's literally what it was . And now the ending I did like the ending , but it did not redeem the show for me at all , like . So apparently a lot of stuff happened behind the scenes And , yes , they did fill in the show at his house . That is his house you guys see in the show . But , um , it's like the original .
I think producer or whatever she was trying to go for a more like Feminist type vibe with the show And we can was like no , i fuck that , like I don't want that , and so that's where we get the whole . You know , i'm in control , i have you know , yada , yada , yada .
But the ending kind of brings back that feminist like vibe that originally was supposed to be there . And then it's just they put like so much in but like then had to shorten it . So it doesn't seem right . It seems just like we get all this information , nothing is really fleshed out And bam , you got this ending and that's it .
So that was another thing , that just like Whatever .
That's kind of crazy . Like I listened to a podcast and they they were , they wanted to , they were reviewing it , and that was . That was the big thing that they were saying , like , oh man , this shit's gone . Like it's done , this shit is done , this shit they're not doing anything else . Like it's over , it sucks .
I mean , I didn't watch it , but I don't know Was it ? was it actually like ? Was it good , though ? Like for real ? No , I'm telling you , it wasn't good Okay .
Like so Okay , it's full alert . Like , if you don't want to listen to it , please jump ahead . Probably like a good two , three minutes , okay . So here's the story , all right . Story is that this girl , her mom , just went to the gym . The story is that this girl , her mom , just recently died .
She's a singer , so she has a mental break and Counselors her tour or whatever . All right , All right . So when we meet her , she's like kind of having like an identity crisis or whatever . She wants to be this bad girl .
And so she is like Doing this photo shoot for this magazine cover or whatever And you see all like her assistants or whatever , and while she's like taking pictures for this like Magazine or picture of her gets leaked with come on her face , okay .
For real , yes , okay .
So they're trying to hide it from her or whatever , so she doesn't have another mental break .
How she could come on her face Like I know , i know how you can do that , but how like what ? No , my good .
Okay , so , so , anyway , yeah that's why . Like they're trying to hide it from her . They don't want to have another mental break and postpone the tour even further out than it is . Okay , cool , that happens . So , pretty much . She has this dancer , this backup dancer is like Hey , we're going out tonight . You come into the club with us .
She's like , yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah , all right . So while she's at the club she meet Tadros , which is like which is the weekend where I fucking rat tail , when the last time you all see somebody with a rat tail , okay .
Isn't it his style , though Isn't it his ?
No , he does not have a rat tail in actual real life Like no .
I mean , but would you be surprised if ?
I would have been surprised . No , not really , because , you know , when the weekend came out , he had like dreads that were like just our man came uncapped .
Anyway , the point is , is that like so she meets him or whatever , and he's just like kind of has her eating out of his hand or whatever , and so the next night , you know , he comes over to her house , he's talking to all this , you know sexual shit or whatever kind of like , yeah , i can show you how to really like hit those notes and sound like , you
know , make people believe the words that you're saying or whatever , right , okay . And so we find out that she just she's like low key , likes pain . Okay , so he takes advantage of that or whatever . And apparently he is a cult leader or whatever , and he just literally like has this girl doing whatever the hell he wants .
Like he takes over the house , her sister , her , she has a sister that's like her best friend and her sister is like the fuck is going on here and like whatever . So the big thing is that these girls have been telling people that her mom used to abuse her with her brush to keep her in line .
So he manipulates that and starts using that with her or whatever .
And then she has this song Wait , wait , wait , he starts . he starts like beating her with a brush With the brush ? Yeah , And like this sounds dumb , good Sorry .
Anyways . So , um , so back to the tour . She has this song that she's trying to promote for the tour , or whatever . They do a remix to it , her team doesn't like it , or whatever , and so he was . So they come with the deal . All right , give me three hits , give me a couple of days , we'll give you guys three hits , all right , okay , cool .
So he brings in another producer . They start making like , all like , so let me reverse . So , because he is a cult leader , he does have a cult full of singers , pretty much Okay . So he brings them into the house . They started recording all this music , or whatever .
It's not bad .
Not gonna lie , the songs are okay , okay , not like weekend songs , but they're close to close . So , um , anyway , that's it . So during this whole Three-day or whatever , they're making music . She literally finds out that she was set up to meet him or Whatever and she did not like that at all .
So she calls her ex-boyfriend over to the house or whatever , and Tatres is there , he gets drunk and tries to like fight the ex-boyfriend and she just comes in the kitchen where they are like Talking , and she just like jumps on top of an ex-boyfriend and then they just go into the room and flop , okay , so he is outside listening to this or whatever , and then
he's gonna get the ultimate payback . He does not get the ultimate payback .
So In the last episode of the show this is where I say , like the feminist vibes are here We turn out , we come to find out that this girl was like literally using him the whole entire time Just for a power game , so that he can make these , help her make these hits , because he knows he knows music really well .
And , yeah , now she has him at the end eating out of her pocket . Yeah , it's a pretty wild show .
Just that's , that's the show and how many episodes was it ?
five .
Damn five episodes and they said , nope , could have sent this off a whole bunch of time and just say it after the first one , let's just cut it .
I mean , i'm not gonna say like How making his own show was just not a should not have been a thing , but right , there's worse shows out there .
Yeah , sure , sure , sure , sure , Yeah , like I said , i was a podcast and they talked about it , but I think they did like two episodes and were like , okay , well , this is gonna be over , so no need to , no need to finish , so you know , just the way that it is . But , um , oh , yeah , uh , welcome .

You know , streaming and Doing episodes kind of like this is the only way . I'm gonna get him the stream , so yeah , please probably um , so yeah , but in this episode We're I kind of wanted to Parties up to like see yesterday .
I kind of want to talk about how Gaming has gaming , like , always been a expensive hobby , because the reason , the reason I was thinking about this was when you're young , when you're a child , right , you want certain things and the last thing that you're thinking about is the cost of something .
Unless you had parents who were just like you know , you know how much that cost , like , especially for , like , holidays and stuff like that , like a Christmas , and you know you get a console or anything .
The last thing that you're thinking about is how much it costs , how much the games are and just what , what's your parents have to do to get that thing , or you know what , just what needs to be done . And When you think about it , gaming really hasn't . It's gone up price-wise , but It hasn't been like it was never cheap from the jump .
Like , if we really sit here and think about it and I mean just thought out with this , what , what was your It , as far as you can remember , what was the first console that You played
¶ Gaming Consoles' Cost and Inflation
on ? it could have been yours , it could have been a friend , it could have been , you know , family . What was the first one that you played on ? What was the first one that you played on It ?
was like I was probably like three or four , yeah , maybe , but it was like a super Nintendo , okay .
so that was my first console that I like vividly remember playing yeah but like Me growing up , i I'm the youngest , i have two older brothers and they're like way older than me , so I grew up just like playing consoles with them , like PlayStation and like Sega and Just like all those 90s consoles , yeah .
And so Me growing up , it was just like I couldn't get one because I was a girl . My mom was like girls don't play games , so like no , but she was my brother's one , but it was always expensive . Like I'm like a kid . Look at the prices of something . They're like oh my god . Okay , this is super expensive , but I Don't know .
We'll talk about now versus then a little bit later on And I kind of just I , i have a , but low to first cousins .
So Our age range , our age range is like from , i want to say maybe like 46 47 is the oldest to like 11 Right , most of us are in like the middle and like 30s , late 30s and stuff , but our youngest one is Not even , you know , 15 or a teenager yet . So that's crazy .
But like I grew up , like going to my aunt's house and cuz my aunt had , you know , she had kids and they always had gaming systems , like always . And I the first system that I can remember having was a . I had a super antenna that my dad bought and I remember having a Game gear , had one of those .
I had a game gear that big-ass funky black shit with a little small screen , yep .
It was by Sega and , yeah , i had one and it took like I want to say that shit took like eight AA batteries . I want to say eight AA batteries .
Yeah , it was . I love that thing to death though .
Eight AA batteries and bad , and just so you know . But y'all should notice , batteries aren't what batteries used to be back in the day .
Back in the day batteries were like actually really expensive And they still kind of are now , but they're they aren't that they aren't used that much because everything is chargeable , but I remember that was like the biggest thing that I can remember that I had first . But , like I was saying , my cousins We would play , they had like super Nintendo .
My other cousins had like Dreamcast and all that stuff . So that's what I remember playing like . And then my uncles , my uncles , got into like PC gaming , so Like back in the day . So I can't remember playing them , playing a half-life . You know what I mean And it was dope .
So but then you , with with that in mind , you kind of think about , well , shit , all these people got these games , gaming systems . How much were these shits like really ? you know what I mean . And Compared to now , yes , they are expensive and games themselves are expensive .
But I remember some years ago seeing a old like Toys R Us ad of like all the game consoles and stuff like that And I had to , i had to go back and look at it again , but one of the like looking at these prices of this old like Toys R Us ad And hold on . I'll let me share my screen real quick so you can see .
So when you mention stuff like that , there's a There's a triple drop video on the screen .
So I'm going to go ahead and show you . So , when you mention stuff like that , there's a , there's a triple drop video which is like a YouTube channel and they cover like Every console made And they like go into detail about each one .
It's a really long video But like it breaks down like the cost and like time it was made and all kinds of stuff , so It's always interesting to look at that .
That's crazy , do you , and So these ? you see what I'm saying , you see what I have up here . Um , look at the stream yard .
Wait , wait , wait . Yeah , i see it .
So right now , just to describe it to everybody and actually I can actually move this to Oh Shit , it might not work . Nope , it might not work . Okay , but Right now I have an ad up for Toys R Us and it's like it's old , it's very , very old . They have like a photo contest on the On the damn Little ad here .
Got a kid out here , sleep with the list and everything . But when you scroll down and you see these consoles Like a Nintendo 64 was 200 bucks I mean that for that time , that's , that's kind of expensive , that's kind of expensive .
There's a lot of money .
And you remember how people were complaining like some time ago , how games were like $60 , like why am I paying $60 for a game ?
But they've been $60 , like ever ever .
Yeah , that's when I saw that and , like I said , when you're young you don't think about this shit . But when you , when you see this stuff and you're like holy fuck , like if you got one of these shits , like Like mother fucker , you were blessed , motherfucker , you were blessed , because that's , that's crazy , that's Crazy .
Controllers , the Nintendo 64 controllers , 30 books a pop , a Game Boy pocket is $60 , crazy like . Looking at this , you're just like oh my gosh , and it seems like the the median for most Consoles were around that , that 200 . But the big thing was it looks like the big thing when it came to certain consoles was The bundles that you get .
Yeah so which is dope as fuck , which is something they don't do anymore .
Also , they don't do demo disc anymore , so you know , that's also but I mean , you still have demo games like , literally , final Fantasy 16 was demo .
So yeah , but it's nothing like . Look , this is me going back , but you buy magazine .
Yeah , yeah , you put the demo .
Oh my god , you play that shit forever . It's just one level , but it's like I know this shit like the back of my hand . You can nobody tell me how to beat this shit like I remember I Forgot which magazine it was , but I can remember having a demo disc and it was the old Tomb Raider and it was like It . You couldn't get past anything else .
But I just remember swinging on shit And then just swimming underwater and then it ends And it's just like well , that's it . If you want the game , go buy it . Or if you want to play more , go by that shit . You broke ass . So Yeah , but it's it's .
It's crazy when you look at this shit , like everything was around 200 , most constantly like Yeah , okay , hold on , let me let me look like for today's inflation . Damn . Hold on . Let me see if I can get this . Let me see if I can get this .
Okay , so we got $199 . It's fucking 96 . You know today's prices , that would be 391 dollars and 98 cent that's crazy .
That's crazy okay .
But that is , that is almost . That is almost the cause of like a PlayStation 5 digital .
Sure , that's very true .
That's pretty on a hobby , as it definitely is like it's . It's something you put a lot of money in time into .
¶ The Changing Landscape of Gaming
This is that's crazy , like when God looking at this man . It's just , it's just so . Whoa what ? Hold on , hold on , hold on what oh my ? god , so good . Yo say it was like , yeah , like , really like doing shit , holy fuck .
They don't get the credit of . These are yeah , they don't .
Oh man , that's crazy , because I totally forgot it was a Genesis and a Saturn and you could have the choices of what you wanted , and Sega's just out here just like Really killing shit . Damn . Too bad that it's not around anymore , though , jesus .
Fuck , fuck , consoles were out the game .
Yeah .
Sega CD .
Geez , man , like damn you know , but the thing is like whoa , that's how much them , motherfucker was are we doing this , dungeon Oh ? Oh , hold on , Sorry I'm gonna . I'll be back in that my bed . I'm still looking at this ad . I Have it on the street .
I know I see it .
Super Nintendo's would just so . okay , i'm saying they're cheap , yes , i'm saying it now , but 129 bucks .
What do you want to think about ? 129 bucks back then is not the same as today . Like today I can like just go . I mean also , i'm an adult now . So like $129 is like really not a lot .
But not bump that here . This is where and this is how Nintendo is still making that money . By the way , you guys , do you see how much Street Fighter is right here ?
Yes , 70 bucks . That's , that's wild and like how much is that today ? That is a lot , though , because even day is a lie .
That's wild And that's not even 137 dollars .
Who's paying 137 dollars for a game ? not even like the deluxe edition for the game , Just a basic copy of the game right .
Holy crap , that's wild , that's insane . And pockets were man , look man , look man you . Yeah , this is why this big clunky ass . No , yeah , it did , but it wasn't that great , it wasn't that great at all . I had the carrying case too , and the carrying case was like a fucking suitcase . It was a , it was a damn suitcase a game a year ?
Oh my gosh , so you can wear . Guys were big time playing those demos late to the wills fall off .
Jesus Christ , man . Oh yeah , you know , this is wild . And even even if we talk about like the Bandai Tomagaches , crazy Tomagaches , go into , go into like a fucking like , right now They're like on a whole different level . Oh my god , and this was the gold shit too , man , they don't do shit like this .
I always died and I forget to feed it .
They don't want to do this shit . No more man like these motherfuckers now . Now gaming is I mean , gaming has always been a business , which I get , that but now gaming is more of like I don't know how to explain it .
It's always been real shit , but It's more catered to the , the offices , like the corporate offices , and how everything is doing like market wise , then to the people , and you can see that based off the product that they're putting out into the market .
I don't think it's that . I think it's more they're catering to . I Want to say this , even though I am one like they're more catering to , like the casual gamer .
They're more than the gamer enthusiast because like the casual game where it's just gonna , you know , spend the money or whatever , play the game and who or whatever , and it will and it appeals to the masses . But like it's not so much catered to the person . That's like die hard , dedicated , build the series or whatever .
Like all right , i'm gonna throw this out there And I know like guys are listening right now . I'm gonna like , yes , because you're a fanboy , but like , for instance , ea , how they did the Mass Effect series , like it was just terrible .
They really just kind of just milk that , just relate the dollars that they could get forward and like all the micro transactions that they could make from . Like it's stuff like that . Just like it's become so much like dollar , sign , dollar , sign , dollar , sign .
That is not so much like hey , let's develop this really nice story , let's get , let's get remembered for the great things about this game or whatever . Now it's just like it's a pump mill , like , hey , i can pump this game , i'll get this amount of money and keep it moving , So yeah .
Sure , and I guess the other big thing is it also deals with the . I think another big thing is the companies that are releasing the games , like , yes , a company is a business and they do have to make some money back if they invest all this stuff , all this time and effort into making this game and you get a product right .
But I think that some manufacturers have kind of lost that . What's the word , i don't know . I think they , like some of them , still have that like gamer mindset , but it is you're echoing . Okay , i might not be anymore . Let me know Please again if you still hear that echo .
But yeah , it's like I'm trying to think of , like gaming publishers that are actually like in it for the gamers And not I don't get what I also say I think that would be hard to find because most , like triple A companies are in it for the dollars , like , if you want something that's like in it for the , the gamer , you're going to have to go with some
like indie , like publishers and developers , because it was triple A .
Yeah for sure , for sure . Do you think that , like one publisher that comes to my into my head that I'm a fan of , is I like Bethesda a lot ? Well , because they make a lot of the games that I play .
You know , I do too . So yeah .
So like I think , like they do well , they have run into some hiccups .
Let's not talk about that .
Like I remember when Fallout 76 came out .
Look , i was there as day , okay .
I remember , oh shit Man super clear . I am right .
What was the ?
what was the ? what was the ? when Fallout 76 came out , what edition did you buy ? You might have said this already .
Oh no , i bought . I was one of those people that bought the limited edition and got the fucking shitty bag and was disappointed . Yeah , yeah , that was me . You know , you want to go there with that .
That's crazy . I haven't . I haven't done like an edition , like a certain edition game in a while . You know well Diablo , yeah , but like physical copy type shit Yeah . Yeah , physical copy type shit . I think the last game that I actually like my mom took me to a store 12 am , a GameStop 12 am was for Halo 2 .
And I got the collect edition and like the silver metal box and I played like a good hour of it that same morning And that's when Halo 2 is when they introduce the sword , and that shit was fucking amazing . But yeah , sorry , get off the top of your heads , but just gaming has always been like expensive as it has .
It's always been expensive , it's just that when you're older ?
Yeah , go ahead , sorry .
No , i was going to say . I mean , it's always been expensive . But I think now there's a lot of ways that you can try to make it cheaper .
Oh yeah , for sure , for sure , for sure . And since like physical copies really isn't , i mean you can still buy them , but it's not as popular as it was some years ago . I guess having stuff digital kind of does cut that price down .
Not necessarily , because if that was the case , then we shouldn't have a price increase Like we did down to , like , a lot of games going to 70 because you're not sending out booklets , you're not , you know , doing materials or having to send out CDs , but yet the price still went up , which I mean that's fine .
But you know , we're paying more , we're getting less .
So yeah , yeah , i understand that . I think one of the biggest ways to kind of help with if I guess , kind of like cheaper gaming would be looking for sales . I think sales is a really big thing , depending on well , how can I put this ? depending on a console that you play on , some consoles . just don't do that shit .
Like it's rare for Nintendo to like have sales on like they're like they're good shit .
They're Mario games .
Yeah , like or Pokemon and shit like that , like you never will see like a downfall when it comes to like a cheaper price to that . They're indie games , yes , but Nintendo , they're in a totally different world . They're in a totally different world .
They're like totally different spectrum right now . Yeah , compared to any like a steam or but , I mean but then again you gotta think about compared to like other gaming systems .
Yeah .
They have like the cheaper price point . So you know you gotta make up for somehow . And I guess gaming you know rarely making sales in their games would be their way to go about it .
Sure , very , very true , that's for sure .
I do think that if you do play like I mean , lexi might be able to give a little bit more detail on the whole , like when it comes to like PS5 and stuff , but I know and she knows too , when it comes to PC , i mean you can go on like CD keys and stuff like that , to like try to find like some cheaper stuff , especially steam , usually , i mean shit .
I think they had a sale last year or so going on right now .
Yeah , And I didn't spend like $100 . I don't got suffered in , So you know anyways .
Yeah . So they have sales all the time with steam . It's just . it's just what they do . I think that's one way to like kind of capitalize on making it cheaper for yourself . I think Blizzard does some stuff , maybe sometimes .
Blizzard do have sales periodically . So Blizzard because I play World of Warcraft and a bunch of other stuff that they like Diablo and I used to play Hearthstone , but not so much more , and Overwatch Pretty much they have a sale . They're big sales like around Black Friday , which is a good sell . then Play World of Warcraft .
I not want to buy my time directly from Blizzard . I will like go online and buy like a game time card from somewhere and it's usually a lot cheaper than Blizzard And then , like usually like a month or two after like a DLC comes out , they'll have like a sale like hey , have a sale to do with expansion pack . you know you want to get it .
So that's usually when I buy . like an expansion pack is like usually when they have those kind of sales .
God , i do think that's actually not bad , that's pretty good . Yeah , i would also say , if you want to kind of like I mean , just try expanding the type of games that you play , like you always don't have to go , sometimes try the indie shit .
Sometimes try like you know , if it's cheap and you got the money for it and it looks interesting to you , give it a try . It might be something that you that you who is this , is this the butcher ?
God , tell me the butcher's back .
No , I see a skull . I don't know if he's a . I don't know if it's a boss or I don't know .
I mean , and then there's non conventional ways of you .
Oh no .
There's not conventional ways to like . You know , if you have Xbox , you guys can game share , which means you know pretty much whatever games buy , you know somebody can have access to . Play Station is similar I think there are some limitations into that .
They're you know it's funny when you say game share , because you remember when this is , when Xbox , kind of like , was fucking up , but remember when they were like oh yeah , you're not going to be able to get physical copies anymore . Yeah .
And .
PlayStation came out with like an ad and was like Hey , i want to play that game . And they just handed him like they handed . he handed the other guy the physical copy . He was like here you go , and that was it .
That was it .
That just made Xbox look like shit And I was like damn .
And I was like they wanted it to be always online DRM based system where you couldn't like share games with other people and shit , And that like completely backfired on them because Like that shit wasn't gonna be possible .
Alexis , where are you ?
Um , and the dungeons too .
Yeah , me too . What's that ? You're another side . Yeah , I can you , uh , can you get your ass over here please ?
Um , you can follow me and help me over here , but you know whatever .
You know what ? never mind , i'll come over there to you .
Whatever ?
I'll just bring this boss over here , if you know . No , oh , he's not gonna go that far .
Right until he you get over here and he's behind you .
No , that won't happen . Did you clear all this over here ?
Oh .
Yeah , sweet . Yeah , you guys get to hear what it sounds like when we're playing Diablo together .
No , no tactics , nothing , no , no planning , just going and just kill shit that and that's my favorite way to play games and I went a lot . I know I am not one to be like I Got to think of this tactic to get this done like I just like . For me , games is just like I Can put my mind on all of , especially Diablo . I think that's why I love Diablo .
It's like I can just put my brain on autopilot and just like hit some shit and Have fun . That's that's . That's me .
I don't know man Diablo is .
It is some different type of shit , like When you , when you some stuff on here , i have to like Google it just so I can be like yes , there are things that you're gonna have to do that with really majority , like right now , this little thing We're doing , it's not like Hey , you got to have this defense , or you know this place out to get through , or
whatever the case .
For sure , for sure . I do think that . Oh , so with this game there is a season like the first season is coming out July 20th and Don't know much about it . But I'm pretty excited cuz I get my free shit And I know that a whole bunch of other people want their free shit , because I know a lot of people logged in and was like Where's my shit
¶ Saving Money With Pets and Freebies

And then they had to like be on it very quickly . It was like , oh , Oh yeah , that's what she's kind of hate this like vampiric Shit .

And if you don't know about those days , you might be a little bit too young to be listened to our podcast .
We just say yeah , man , those days were sick . The Morpheus , the Kazaz .
Line wire .
Yeah , no details on the music . You just download that shit and he just , he just got it .
What are you ?
uh , i'm still in the dungeon . I can see you . I'm taking out some spiders , though They got that stupid fraud shit And also they're fucking poisonous or toxic and it's just . I hate the way that the Poison stuff like . I hate that how poison like just kills you slowly . Oh , why is there a skull over here ?
I'll tell you it's a boss . That's the one I was talking about .
He's the same guy that we had to beat with the vampiric stuff before . I was just waiting to get over here .
If I make it .
If I make it .
It doesn't and it's a buzz about it . You have to come over here .
If I make it oh . I got it .
If they make it .
Yeah , i got it cool , Okay . Oh yeah , i need to fucking redo my weapons to um . Wait a minute . I this this topic , like I said , random . It was something that came into my head . Like I said , when you're young You don't think about shit you know , you know , like mommy daddy , i want this . Yeah , and you might get it , you might not , eh , who knows .
Um , so when I Being a adult , and you got to pay for all your shit if you're not rich , i mean you still gotta pay for shit , but , um , you know , it's just like damn . I wonder how much this shit was back in the day . I'm saying back in the day , like it was that long ago .
It was that long ago . Okay , it really was . I'm not gonna like , even in late , be like it wasn't that long ago . We are old now , okay , we are Yes , well , shit , i'm .
I'm not gonna not add It's . It's . Sometimes , you know I work out and shit , but sometimes you know I might get up and Might strain my neck , not doing anything . I'm just like what the hell just happened . Okay that's just the way shit is other issues .
That doesn't sound like old , mister Shut the fuck up , that's just the way .
That's just the way it is . Oh shit , oh man , and I guess I , i guess we could go into this other shit . Other shit is like left field . This shit has nothing to do with tech , it has nothing to do with gaming , it has nothing to do with any of that shit , but it definitely deals with money .
Um , i don't know how many people listen or are watching right now on kick have pets . But If you are , if you don't have one and you want one , i would really , i would really reconsider that shit .
I already don't want kids . Why can I not have a pet ?
I would , i would really reconsider it because , if it , because , honestly , a pet will literally , if you can handle a pet , you you might be able to handle a child . Um , if you Can't handle a pet and you're just like you know what , no , fuck this .
Because when I First got my dog , i was , i was over it , i was like you going , you going back , you going back right where you came from , because I was , i was frustrated as fuck because it was just like You're telling this , this animal , something to do And they're not doing it . And this is where you gain patience everybody .
¶ Pet Care and Veterinary Costs
But now his dog is .
What awesome . Yeah , she's chill . She's chill as fuck She . I mean , sometimes she might , you know , slip up on some shit , but other than that , most of the time she's pretty chill . Um , i guess one of the big things is , like I would say have an emergency fund .
if you have an animal I know this sounds crazy get insurance , do it how much is pet insurance ? I have no idea . My sister is a veterinarian And when I got the dog from my mother , one of the first one of the things that my sister was like You should think about pet insurance , because it will come in clutch for you at certain times .
It's just , you never know what can happen . Um And speak of the devil , something happened .
I .
My fucking dog had to get . Uh , she tore her cruciate . I have a pitbull , gray , well blue . Um , she's a big bitch , she's , she's big .
Don't , don't call her that .
She's a big head , she has a big head and she , she has a big , wide chest . She's , she's big , big pit and she tore her cruciate . So I had to go get x-rays , take those x-rays to a specialist , and then the specialist had to do surgery on her . Well , let me tell you something , everybody I've never had a broken bone in my body , never , never happened .
But My dog did . Now she has a piece of metal in her and she's bionic now . So she can never pass away Right , because that damn surgery Oh my god It was . It was cool . I'm happy that she got it She , you know , she was walking with a limp And it really wasn't that great . I'm a mo at um and it was sad to see her do that .
But If you got to come out of the pocket about a good five racks For a dog to get a leg fix , man , and then you got to give them the medicine , you got to give them medicine . You got a . It was so it was . It was crazy .
I felt like I was taking care of a senior citizen because it got Oh shit , it got bad to the point where She couldn't walk on her hind legs . So they gave me a harness that I had to put like Under her back legs and I had to lift up her back legs and she was walking on the two fronts in order for her to like walk downstairs .
And I had to do that for at least like a good month . And then I had to do that for when she went outside , use the bathroom , all that shit giving her I mean strong drugs Because she wasn't doing shit . She , that girl , was knocked , the fuck out , wasn't doing a damn thing , and It was .
It was cool to go through that process but , like I say , if you have a pet , these are things that you really got a fucking it was cool for her though . It wasn't cool for her . Well , i mean , it's still pretty cool for her because she's metal . You know what I mean She's , she's damn Nord .
She's damn near a cyborg dog not fully , but you know a piece of her is so it . If you , if you want to get a pet , like like a second wing , speak for dogs . I know cats are a little bit more self-sufficient . But , um , looking to the breed that you want , i know a lot of people want , like corgis and like little you know , dogs and shit like that .
Get a mutt .
I don't want a mutt , i want a corgis .
Get a mutt , go to the pound . There are a ton of great dogs that are in pounds right now that need homes . You know what I mean . Like also , you don't always have to go for the young dog . Older dogs need homes too . They're more chill , more relaxed . You know what I mean . Like I don't know man . Like , go to the pound .
Like , if you want to drive nothing against people that want to get like a certain breed of dog , but you can go to a shelter right now and find probably tons of pit bulls that are just like really good dogs .
I mean wholesome , playful , obedient dogs and all they want is just the home , food , attention , and they'll love you forever and just be great companions . You know what I mean . Like that's , that's one of the what the hell . That's one of the big things that I realized when it comes to like people that like adopt pets and stuff like that .
Like they want to , they , i want this dog . You know what I mean . If it's not a corgi or what's the what's that ? What's that shit ? A golden doodle , is that a thing ?
You mean a golden retriever ?
No , no , no , Like a golden retriever and a poodle . I think that's the thing .
Is it ?
Yeah , i think so . But , like , go to the shelter You find some good dogs , spend time with the dog and just see how they react with you . Like , right now I can't do it right now , but I do want to get another dog for my dog .
Another dog .
Yeah , but I got to get a fence first . man , look I'm . I can't be just having a dog without a fence , because sometimes I just want to open up the door and just let them all fuckers just be in the backyard And I don't have to worry about them all fuckers , at least for like a good hour . You know what I mean .
They'll have their water and shit , but you know , like I said , this topic has nothing to do with anime or any of that shit . It's just something that's on my mind that tell us the name of your dog . Her name is Sunny S O N N I , so I don't know you guys . She's all right . Anyway taking into the consideration .
That food , that wet and dry food with your feet in them , all this shit needs to be taken into consideration . If you want to pet , you want to make their own food , which you can , it'll save you some money , not a lot , um . Vet bills , jesus Christ , the vet bills , the fucking vet bills .
The toys , the toys that you think they're going to play with , but they don't even touch them . Shits , um , but she'll eat the fuck out . Some treats , though , but not not play with toys . Yeah , she doesn't , she doesn't , She doesn't .
If I take her outside and I throw the ball around , she'll play with the ball , like she'll chase after it if she's in that mood . But she got to be in that mood , though , that's for sure . Um , but yeah , man , it's . Just think about any animal Like I see people getting like crazy shit now .
Um , oh , ferrets aren't crazy , but hold on , before we go any further . Um , yeah , i'm just talking about dogs . Cats are easy , cats are easy . You can .
My sister has cats , and Like she can after , like she can be gone for , i say , for like two days , right , she has automatic feeder , they have enough water to last in those two days , and it's two cats and they can , you know , spend time with each other and have a good time with themselves And , like I said , they're self sufficient .
All she has to do is just come back and just clean the litter box . But see , that's the thing . If you're a person who doesn't want Oh , that's another thing too You guys got to be prepared to pick up shit .
Yeah .
You guys got to be prepared for that . Have the doggy bags If you walk in . Be prepared . Look some this might be graphic Nah , some dogs shit like horses . The fuck , chris , i'm not . Look , i'm serious . I am so serious show It's crazy You be like what in the fuck is going on right now ? How do you do that ? How , how the fuck do you do that Not ?
that ? How do you do that ?
Because it I feed you this amount of food . What , what , what , what . What is going on in your body That has you coming out with that Crazy , crazy Jesus Christ ? And if you're not a fan of changing the cat's box , well , that's not a good thing to do either . That's kind of Yeah , that's it . That shit can get kind of nerve wracking too .
And cats like to scratch up shit . What else they dogs like to chew shit That's not necessary . They like to pee places where it's not necessary .
Like having a kid .
Yeah , like I said , if you can , if you can handle a dog , i think you'd be pretty good with a kid , like for real . A lot of people might not agree , but I don't know , i'm . I'm to the point where I'm just like if a child . You know you have to deal with emotion and stuff , but dogs have emotions Big time . Oh shit , that is crazy .
But yeah , like I said , it's like he said sorry for the Dead air . We're fighting a boss right now and Diablo and This motherfucker is actually kind of difficult . Oh shit , i forgot to ask you How was your holiday And did you do anything exciting for it ?
So for my holiday I just want to sick Flex .
Where's their six legs ?
and Atlanta .
Oh , is any good . I know I only know about the six legs and Largo and I haven't been to that in years .
So like I like amusement parks .
But you can get on the rides .
You call me fatty , you call me short .
I'm calling you short motherfucker .
Anyways , I can Just barely though , but I can do it All right cool So , But no , it's not bad . It was just like I didn't expect you to be so dead when I went . I don't know if we're the July , but I like You got grillin , Just gonna Anyway . So it was kind of dead .
And then , Because it was so dead like they didn't have anybody there , So like every time I would stop to get like either food or alcohol or something like that . it was a wait . So that was the big turn off . But the ride lines I think that's the like .
It's sort of seeing somebody ride like wait like 10 , 15 minutes If that for a ride , Because usually you in line for like a good 30 , 45 , maybe to an hour , depending on what the ride is . But I don't know . I don't know . The food was not good And I'm like kind of sad about that .
So were you were you expecting it to be good ?
So like you can go as it's . Like OK , not like I want to . Like I want to throw this away after two bites because it's that nasty . Like I can eat it And it's OK , But like no , it was nasty , i didn't eat it , i threw it away . Oh , so that was a big thing As well , but I had like , i had fun . It was just .
I'm always busy , so I don't get to go out and do stuff all the time because I work all the time , so it was just nice for me to get out and do that . And then I had ramen at my favorite ramen spot . I love Okuboro , atlanta . It's so good . But it had that And then that's pretty much all I did for my holiday .
OK .
What's your holiday ?
I just put some stuff on a smoker , cook some stuff , have some family come and That was about it . I knew and oh , and listen to , a whole bunch of people have fireworks and shit like that . I live in a country so people don't really give a fuck They do . They were doing fireworks to like maybe like 11 or like 12 .
So you know , it's a good thing that my dog doesn't go crazy to fireworks like that , so that's good . But other than that I didn't really do shit . It was cool . I was able to get the days off , were dope and all that , so it wasn't too bad at all . It was really good , really really good . When is the next holiday Labor ?
Day .
People leave . the summer is next month , it's August .
Yep
